Attacks prior police force racial problems in a different town and his family’s legal problems, none of which involved Wilson.

The Washington Post has convicted Police Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, of guilt by association with a former troubled police force in a different town in a prior job than the one he held in Ferguson, MO, and of having parents who were in trouble with the law.

Seriously.

There is nothing, zero, nada, in the WaPo story linked below that shows Darren Wilson ever did anything wrong himself. In fact, to the extent his own conduct is even mentioned, it’s in the context of staying out of trouble.

The small city of Jennings, Mo., had a police department so troubled, and with so much tension between white officers and black residents, that the city council finally decided to disband it. Everyone in the Jennings police department was fired. New officers were brought in to create a credible department from scratch.

That was three years ago. One of the officers who worked in that department, and lost his job along with everyone else, was a young man named Darren Wilson.

Some of the Jennings officers reapplied for their jobs, but Wilson got a job in the police department in the nearby city of Ferguson…..

What he found in Jennings, however, was a mainly white department mired in controversy and notorious for its fraught relationship with residents, especially the African American majority. It was not an ideal place to learn how to police. Officials say Wilson kept a clean record without any disciplinary action.

Why would WaPo focus its story on racial problems with the police department in a different town in a prior job when Wilson himself is not accused by WaPo of participating or doing anything wrong?

WaPo goes into great detail on another shooting of a black women by a Jennings police officer, with no claim Wilson was involved in any way. Just the opposite, WaPo, deep down in the story admits:

Robert Orr, the former Jennings police chief who retired in 2010, said of Wilson: “He was a good officer with us. There was no disciplinary action.”

The entire tale of Jennings and the shooting of the black woman is meant to smear Wilson as a racist by association, which is precisely how the media is playing the WaPo story.

Then WaPo really gets nasty, trashing Wilson’s family and upbringing, although again WaPo admits at the end that Wilson emerged wanting to help people:

Wilson has had some recent personal turmoil: Last year, he petitioned the court seeking a divorce from his wife, Ashley Nicole Wilson, and they formally split in November, records show….

Wilson was born in Texas in 1986 to Tonya and John Wilson, and he had a sister, Kara. His parents divorced in 1989, when he was 2 or 3 years old.

His mother then married Tyler Harris, and they lived in Elgin, Tex., for a time, records show. Tyler and Tonya Harris had a child named Jared.

The family later moved to the suburban Missouri town of St. Peters, where Wilson’s mother again got divorced and married a man named Dan Durso, records indicate.

Wilson attended St. Charles West High School, in a predominantly white, middle-class community west of the Missouri River. He played junior varsity hockey for the West Warriors but wasn’t a standout.

There were problems at home. In 2001, when Wilson was a freshman in high school, his mother pleaded guilty to forgery and stealing. She was sentenced to five years in prison, although records suggest the court agreed to let her serve her sentence on probation.

She died of natural causes in November 2002, when Wilson was 16, records show. His stepfather, Tyler Harris, took over as his limited guardian, which ended when the boy turned 18.

A family friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of threats, said Wilson sought out a career in law enforcement as a way to create a solid foundation in his life that he’d been missing.

Why all this personal background on his family’s legal problems? What does that have to do with anything?

If Wilson himself did something wrong potentially related to the shooting of Michael Brown, that would be one thing.

But this is guilt by association with a former employer and his parents.

This reminds me of the Rick Perry hunting ground rock story two years ago, where WaPo devoted it’s enormous energies to smearing Perry as racist based upon rank speculation over a rock at the family hunting grounds.

This is the most egregious piece of filth I’ve seen in a MSM publication in awhile and that’s saying a lot. I read it last night and I was so hopping mad that I wrote to Amazon and told Mr. Bezos that I’m seriously considering cancelling my Amazon Prime membership. It would certainly hurt me more than it would hurt them but I don’t know that I can continue in good conscience continue to support a company run by a man that owns a newspaper that would allow this kind of revolting yellow journalism and resulting racial damage country to our nation to continue.

Fun show. I’m getting into it, myself. Nice to have a show that isn’t set in a major metro area, and, which depicts a rural part of the country, even if most of the denizens are necessarily portrayed as scoundrels and miscreants, for dramatic effect.

There’s nothing about Browns behavior and the available evidence that shows anything but that Brown was a fat violent thug who was stupid enough to rush an injured and armed police officer he had just criminally assaulted

Dear Izvestia(aka WaPo): SHAME on you and a pox on your squalid house.

Having said that, now please go back and review pics of the 300-lb home boy tossing around the 7-11 clerk before exiting with his thieved items and soon thereafter assaulting a policeman IN HIS CAR.

IF he’d attacked me in my car here in Winter Park, Florida, I hope to God that I’d been able to grab my .22-long rifle firing High Standard Derringer and shot both barrels through his punk ‘haid,’Yo. Entirely legal here in Florida, Thank God.

It is about time that murdering trigger happy police are exposed. I don’t know about the rest of you but the next time I need help, I’m not calling a racist cop, I’m calling a classically trained professional journalist. And if the situation is really desperate, I’m going to call for an editor or maybe even an opinion columnist.

Their religion (i.e. moral philosophy) is notable for its doctrines of inherited and collective sin. Its is known for principles which denigrate individual dignity and devalue human life. It’s a degenerate religion, but dreams of redistributive and retributive change have converted not a few men and women.

Anyway, it’s just democratic politics, which marginalizes and aborts its competitors.

They also found someone willing to call him an “average” police officer. As slanted as that piece is I’m sure that “average” is the worst thing anyone they interviewed would say about Wilson. If they had worse, they’d have printed it.

You’ve got that right, Andrew! I haven’t seen this discussed. I’d suspect he was trying not to kill Brown at first, keeping aim away from head and heart. Then again, his aim might have been a bit off given his condition. But the final shots were dead on. It’s unreal that Brown kept coming.

I suspect they’re holding the blood toxicology report because that will be the final nail in this story.

Aren’t those the same folks who insist that the unsavory associations (chosen and otherwise) of Barack Obama throughout his life have nothing at all to do with his own character, and that suggesting they do is racist?

Aren’t they also insisting that any actions taken by Big Mike Brown up to the moment that Wilson pulled the trigger have nothing whatsoever to do with how he ended up on the wrong end of a police gun, and that suggesting otherwise of racist?

No different than all the people here who insisted that Joseph Harvey’s past history as well as his actions that night had nothing to do with the moment Detective Walker pulled the trigger. Harvey’s actions that evening shouldn’t have been the reason Harvey saw the other end of Detective Walker’s gun.

Harvey’s past actions are only relevant if Walker had prior knowledge of them, which there is no way that the could have, so once again your argument amounts to nothing more than unsophisticated race baiting. Not that anyone should be surprised.

The Washington Post has its prejudices, and it will do anything to convince others that those prejudices are justified. The Ombudsman admitted after each presidential election of Barack Obama that it has not covered him at all critically. Indeed, it spiked several stories.

What their story amounts to is that Officer Wilson had a troubled family upbringing and nonetheless decided to be a decent citizen, having a solid record as a good police officer first in a troubled department and now in another, where he has served well. Young Mike Brown, as far as I can tell, grew up in a tough area and unlike Darren Wilson was headed in the wrong direction, sadly making a few really bad decisions the day he died. Wish he’d followed Darren Wilson’s path instead of the one he took.

But it’s hard to imagine that a trained police officer would throw away his career and family by shooting an unarmed man in an off-duty situation out of state unless he really felt threatened. It’s baffling.

Based on the information provided thus far, it doesn’t look good for Walker

From what?

From a hulking, threatening 300 lb sorehead with a demonstrated malignant intent–that ‘what’?

Walker had already extracted himself from the previous confrontation, but Harvey wont let it go and decides on a hostile approach.

Do you suppose Harvey intended to inquire after Walker’s well-being?

Trayvon, Davis, this guy–these are not innocent lambs for whom the community must extract righteous vengeance. They got dead because they intended to menace law abiding citizens.

Juries refused murder convictions in the first two cases and this jury will refuse as well

But our LEO was NOT a law-abiding citizen. He was a law-breaking fool who violated not only the law, but his training and common sense, as well as the safety of his family.

There’s so much more to show the vitriol that was displayed here towards a Black police officer.The racist drunken white criminal however got most of the sympathy. I can show you comments that prove that. Also check out the castigation, downvotes and name calling given to anyone that was supportive of Walker.

Actually, no it doesn’t mean a thing, when you post what frankly looked like delusional ramblings without links or citations of who said them. I also notice that you only post on your assertion that folks here are racist and the only thing you ever point to is the Walker case. Perhaps it is time to reevaluate your argument.

Also like Rags I completely disagree with you which I have every right to do.

It has been my observation that the person who brings up race the most is….well you.

The WaPo uses a pattern that is common for liars to use: Combine irrelevant facts with gratuitous assertions and pretend that they have presented an argument that settles it! They also assume that their devoted readers are as stupid as they are. I expect them to do this when they have nothing to stand on to support their narrative.

FBI agent Aaron McFarlane shot Ibrahim Todashev, an associate of Tamarlan Tsarnaev of Boston Marathon Bombing Brothers fame. He shot him seven times after having been struck with the unlikely weapon of a coffee table by the Chechen MMA fighter during an interrogation.

One projectile entered the top of the head, passed through the brain and the base of the skull. It was recovered. Three projectiles entered the back; one exited and two were recovered in the body. Two projectiles passed through the left upper arm and re-entered the left chest. An additional projectile also entered the left chest.

The dirt on the FBI agent was and is bad.

At the time of the fatal interview, McFarlane had only been working for the FBI for about five years and was receiving a disability pension of more than $52,000 from the Oakland, California, Police Department, according to the Globe. He retired from the Oakland Police Department in 2004, at age 31, with a life-long pension due to injuries to his leg and a broken ankle before joining the FBI.

While working for the Oakland PD, the Globe reports, McFarlane testified in defense of four Oakland Police officers charged with making false arrests, planting evidence, and falsifying police reports. The city settled the federal lawsuit for $10.9 million and all four officers were fired, while McFarlane pleaded the Fifth to avoid incriminating himself and later testified under immunity.

The rest of the story is that the US Government and the State of Florida forgave McFarlane for his overuse of his weapon without even checking into the agent’s seamy background. There was No Grand Jury, only administrative okey-dokies.

The WaPo and other hyper-liberal MSM ‘know’ this is a case of a racist cop murdering an unarmed black child. They know this demands justice. As progressives, they believe ends justify means. Since they cannot provide direct evidence in most cases, to further justice they must provide circumstantial evidence, that is, paint the cop as a racist bad guy. Justice isn’t always pretty, they know, and since the narrative was being lost they had to deploy nine dirt-diggers to regain the narrative and get the job done.

All of it proceeds on their original errant assumption that they ‘know’ this is a case of a racist cop murdering an unarmed black child. This ‘fact’ drives their work.

In effect, the WaPo shoots arrows into the wall, then draws targets around them. In the bubble and unaware of their biases, they come to believe in the infallibility of their aim.

No need to be from a “racist” state to convict one of guilt, according to the MSM’s reporting. One only needs to have the genetic composition that leads one to inherit a ‘white’complexion… this in itself is enough to qualify one as a “racist” apparently, according to the MSM.

By extension, these same media geniuses imply that all ‘white’ police officers get their rocks off by “executing” (yes, they allowed that word into print) people that don’t have the same skin complexion as the officer. That’s the inferred argument.

So it’s quite the coincidence that the Washington Post ran a negative piece on Officer Darren Wilson, while the NY Times ran a positive piece on Michael Brown… on the same day. Do I smell collision?

Rumor is that the Post is going to come out with a new story, detailing that Officer Wilson’s great-great-great-great-great-grandfather’s second cousin was a notorious highwayman who preyed upon innocent coach passengers traveling around the sleepy English hamlet of Anmer, back in the late 18th century. He used a blunderbuss and a stout wooden cudgel to terrorize and rob these good folk.
